What (kind of?) brake lever is this?
Bicycles Asked on May 3, 2021
I’m curious as to whether or not anyone knows who makes this brake lever or if anyone makes one like it. I know the bike in the image is a Montreal-based company called Bassi that primarily sells through the shop in the same town called "C&L Cycles" however I emailed them and received no response. I appreciate any and all help! Thank you!
Here is another image of the brake lever on the bike

It's almost certainly a Gran Compe SHOT LEVER two handle brake lever. This description matches quite well and there's some comments on Bike Forums.
Simply, both levers operate the same brake, but on a narrow bar where you don't have room for two levers for two brakes it's a good compromise.

It is a Gran Compe Shot Lever from Dia Compe. I have one on my Stelbel fixie, and one on my Colnago single speed. They work fantastically; however, the photo at the bottom (white handlebar tape) has the lever mounted backwards. Make sure the long arm goes across the stem.
